Homework Statement

Write balanced molecular and net ionic equations for the reaction of aqueous sulfuric acid with sodium hydroxide.

Homework Equations

H2SO4 + NaOH -->

The Attempt at a Solution

H2SO4 + NaOH --> H2O + NaSO4Please apologize any mistakes I make in trying to post this question, I don't frequent forums. Regarding my question, I'm fairly certain I understand the basis of the reaction being made, and I am confident in writing the net ionic equation and cancelling the spectator ions. The problem I am having though (which I don't usually have a problem with), is balancing this equation. I have everything balanced except when it comes to the oxygens, and I am one off on the product side. I've tried things such as using a "1/2" number, then multiplying by 2, but it just doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone help me please?

Oxygens are balanced, but sodium and hydrogen are not.

Before trying to balance check what is a correct formula of sodium sulfate, otherwise you will be wasting time.

Instead of formatting subscripts with font size, use subscript and superscript tags/buttons (quote my post to see details, or look for X₂ and X² buttons in the advanced editor).

Ah, thank you. I realize now my mistake I made with sodium sulfate. Thank you!
